FIG. 6(A)shows the state in which the body 40, etc. is assembled to the shaftpart 10.

2. Regarding Performance Variable Ring 30

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a flywheel is used as aperformance variable ring 30. The performance variable ring 30 has aplate like shape. As shown in FIG. 3, at the bottom surface of theperformance variable ring 30, an annular step part 31, which is capableof storing the flange 12 of the shaft part 10 from the lower side, isformed. Further, on the upper surface of the performance variable ring30, a projection part 32, which stretches out in the upper direction, isformed at each of the sections which are faced each other in the rightand left direction across the shaft center of the grounding part 11. Inthe lower side part of each projection part 32, a recessed part 33,which is capable of storing the projection part 15 of the shaft part 10from the lower side, is formed. Further, on the upper surface of theperformance variable ring 30, a tongue-piece part 34, which extendsupward, is formed directly outside each projection part 32. Thetongue-piece part 34 is projected higher than the projection part 32. Asthe performance variable ring 30, substituting the flywheel orintegrating with the flywheel, there may be one having a projection parton the outer circumferential surface, so as to easily attack theopponent's spinning top toy 1, or there may be one having a recessedpart on the outer circumferential surface, so as to hardly receive theattack from the opponent's spinning top toy 1.

3. Regarding Body 40

As shown in FIG. 2, in the outer peripheral of the body 40, protrusionsand recesses 40 a are formed. Further, at the center of the body 40, acircular hole 41 is formed. Further, on the lower surface of the body40, as shown in FIG. 3, an annular-shaped recessed part 42 which iscapable of storing the projection part 32 of the performance variablering 30 from the lower side is formed. At the lower end of the innercircumferential surface of the inner circumferential wall 43 a whichpartitions and forms the annular-shaped recess part 42, a flange(engagement part) 44 which overhangs in the inward radial direction isprojected at each of the sections which are faced each other in thefront-and-back direction across the shaft center of the grounding part11.

Further, at the middle region in the vertical direction of the innercircumferential surface of the inner circumferential wall 43 a, aprotrusion 47 which overhangs in the inward radial direction isprojected at each of the sections which are faced each other in theright and left direction across the shaft center of the grounding part11.

In addition, on the lower end surface of the inner circumferential wall43 a, a raised part 45 in which protrusions and recesses arecontinuously formed so as to mesh with the aforementioned protrudingstrips 21 is formed at each of the sections which are faced each otherin the right and left direction across the shaft center of the groundingpart 11. Further, at the ceiling wall 43 b which partitions and formsthe annular-shaped recess part 42 of the body 40, arcuate slits 46,which are capable of inserting the tongue-piece parts 34 of theperformance variable ring 30 from the lower side, are formed. Thearcuate slits 46 have a length in which the tongue-piece parts 34 can besufficiently moved. Further, one end part of the arcuate slits 46 hasnarrow width, so that the hooks 54 b of the launcher 50, which will bedescribed later, are engaged.

4. Regarding Identification Part 60

As shown in FIG. 2, an identification part 60 is mounted in the circularhole 41. The identification part 60 is used for identifying the spinningtop toy 1 or the identification of a player. For the identification, inthe present embodiment, not shown in the drawings, a plurality ofidentification parts in which decorations and/or colors, etc. aredifferent are offered, and one of the identification parts 60 which isselected by the player is mounted in the circular hole 41 by using theprojections 47 in a screw manner.

Assembly Method

Next, an example of an assembly method of the spinning top toy 1 will bedescribed. Here, it assumes that the assembly of the shaft part 10 hasbeen already completed. Further, it assumes that the assembly ofmounting the identification part 60 to the circular hole 41 has beenalready completed.

First, the projection parts 15 of the shaft part 10 is fitted to therecessed parts 33 of the performance variable ring 30 from the lowerside, and the shaft part 10 and the performance variable ring 30 areassembled to become the fitting state.

Next, the assembled body brings to the position close to the body 40from the lower side. In this case, the tongue piece parts 34 of theperformance variable ring 30 of the aforementioned assembled body arefitted to the predetermined ends of the arcuate slits 46 of the body 40(see FIG. 8(A)). In this state, it is the state in which the flanges 17of the shaft part 10 and the flanges 44 of the body 40 are notoverlapped in the vertical direction. This state is the disassembledstate.

After that, the shaft part 10 of the aforementioned assembled bodypushes to the body 40 side. Then, first, the performance variable ring30 is pushed to the lower surface of the body 40. Further, the coilspring 20 contracts and the flanges 17 of the shaft part 10 arerelatively pushed up to the position higher than the flanges 44 of thebody 40.

The shaft part 10 is rotated with respect to the body 40 integrated withthe performance variable ring 30 until the tongue-piece parts 34 move tothe ends opposite side of the aforementioned predetermined ends (seeFIG. 8(B)). In this case of the rotation, the body 40 and theperformance variable ring 30 and the shaft part 10 are relativelyrotated, and in FIG. 8(B), it shows the state in which the body 40 isrotated with respect to the performance variable ring 30. Then, itbecomes the state in which the flanges 17 of the shaft part 10 and theflanges 44 of the body 40 are overlapped in the vertical direction. Whenreleasing the shaft part 10, the lower surface of the flanges 17 of theshaft part 10 and the upper surface of the flanges 44 of the body 40abut each other by the urging force of the coil spring 20. The state inwhich the lower surface of the flanges 17 of the shaft part 10 and theupper surface of the flanges 44 of the body 40 abut each other is theassembled state. With this, the shaft part 10, the performance variablering 30 and the body 40 are engaged, and the spinning top toy 1 isassembled.

How to Play

Next, an example of how to play with the spinning top toy 1 will bedescribed. In this example of how to play, by rotating the spinning toptoy 1, it performs to fight with the opponent's spinning top toy 1.

In this case, a charge of the rotation force of the spinning top toy 1is performed by a launcher 50 as shown in FIG. 9. In the inside part,the launcher 50 is provided with a disk which is not shown, and the diskis urged in one rotational direction by the power spring which is notshown. When the string, which is not shown, wound around the disk ispulled by a handle 51, the disk is rotated, and therefore, the spinningtop holder 53 is rotated. The rotation of the spinning top holder 53 istransmitted to the spinning top toy 1 by the forks 54 projecteddownwardly, so that the spinning top toy 1 is rotated.

In this case, the forks 54 are inserted to the arcuate slits 46 of thebody 40, and the hooks 54 b are engaged with the lower end of thearcuate slits 46. When the handle 51 of the launcher 50 is pulled to theend, the rotation of the disk and further, the spinning top holder 53 isstopped, and on the other hand, the spinning top toy 1 is rotatedfurther by the inertia force, so that the spinning top toy 1 is releasedfrom the spinning top holder 53 in accordance with the inclined surface54 a of the forks 54. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 52 denotes a rodcapable of being projected from and retracted into the spinning topholder 53. The rod 52 is pressed by the upper surface of the spinningtop toy 1 and is retracted into the spinning top holder 53 when thespinning top toy 1 is mounted to the spinning top holder 53. Forexample, the rod 52 is used to detect whether the spinning top toy 1 isattached or detached.

When the spinning top toy 1 launched in such manner is rotated in apredetermined field and collides with the opponent's spinning top toy 1,by the impact force or friction, etc. due to the collision, in the body40, the force is applied in the direction opposite to the rotationdirection of the shaft part 10 and the performance variable ring 30, andwith this, the body 40 is relatively rotated in the direction oppositeto the rotation direction of the shaft part 10 and the performancevariable ring 30. The protruding strips 21 are meshed with the raisedpart 45 of the body 40, and the urging force of the coil spring 20 isapplied to the protruding strips 21, so that every time the impact forceis applied by the collision, the shaft part 10 is relatively rotatedwith respect to the body 40 and the meshing position is changed. Whenreaching the lock releasing position, the engagement of the flanges 44of the body 40 and the flanges 17 of the shaft part 10 is released, andby the urging force of the coil spring 20, the body 40 is separated fromthe shaft part 10. As shown in the right side of FIG. 1, the spinningtop toy 1 is disassembled.

Effect of Shaft Part 10

The coil spring 20 urges in the direction separating the pressing member18 and the grounding member 110 away from each other. In this case, whenan external force is applied to the spinning top toy 1, and thegrounding part 11 is operated in the direction to be retracted into theshaft part main body, in other words, when the shaft part body (fixedpart of the outer frame member 100, etc.) is retracted, the coil spring20 is contracted, and the pressure to the meshing between the raisedpart 45 of the body 40 and the protruding strips 21 is enhanced (seeFIG. 7). As a result, the speed of the relative rotation in thedirection to disassemble the body 40 and the shaft part 10 slows down,so that it takes longer time to disassemble these parts. As the case inwhich the grounding part 11 is operated in the direction to be retractedto the shaft part body, immediately after the spinning top toy 1launched from the launcher 50 is landed, it may be the case in which thebody of another spinning top toy is collided from the upper side of thebody 30 of the own spinning top toy 1, or the case in which the ownspinning top toy 1 tries to climb up the inclined surface of thecone-shaped game board, etc. In these cases, the relative rotation inthe direction to disassemble the body 40 and the shaft part 10 caneffectively slow down.

Modification Example

The embodiments of the present invention were described above, but thepresent invention is not limited to the aforementioned embodiments, andneedless to say, various modifications may be made within the scope thatdoes not depart from the essential point of the present invention.

For example, in the aforementioned embodiments, as the rotationalresistance between the shaft part 10 and the body 40, the protrudingstrips 21 are formed in the shaft part 10 and the raised part 45 isformed in the body 40. However, the protruding part and the recessedpart may be formed in a different shape. Further, the number of theseparts is not limited to the number described in the aforementionedembodiments. Further, the rotational resistance is not limited to themeshing elements, but it may be a resistance part made of a rubber, etc.formed on the surfaces faced between the shaft part 10 and the body 40.In a word, it may be any structure as long as it becomes a rotationalresistance by performing the slide-contact each other. In other words,it is sufficient to be the sliding element. In this case, by applyingthe impact force, etc. from the outside, the shaft part 10 and the body40 are gradually and relatively rotated in the direction to bedisassembled.

Effect of the Invention

According to the first means, in a state in which the grounding part andthe pressing member are energized by one energizing member in thedirection separating from each other and the spinning top toy goes down,the grounding part is pushed to move upward with respect to the shaftbody by receiving the reaction force. Accordingly, the contact force ofthe sliding elements each other is enhanced, so that the rotationalresistance increases and it hardly performs the relative rotation.

According to the second means, the sliding elements are configured withthe meshing elements, so that when the body of the spinning top toyreceives the external force from the above, the meshing force betweenthe meshing elements becomes large.

According to the third means, the energizing member is configured withthe coil spring, so that the sliding elements can appropriately contacteach other.
